| I don't think... flow through = no filtration. a fitration system turns the pond over at least once an hour. that would be a lot to replace with flow through  perhaps I am way off on this...can someone else chim in? |

| new pond w/ pH swing to high side I'm new to this forum. I just built the new pond for 3 wks. The water was clear until a friend of mine told me not to turn on the UV so the algae can grow quicker. I did that and now the water turned green. It's too green that I can't see the koi. I checked the pH and it went up to 8.4+ from 8.0. I saw couple of koi flashing and jumping up the water. What should I do? many thanks in advance. trkoi |

| If you are interested in seeing some pond plumbing diagrams that help understand concepts and placement of pumps, UV's and filters, consider visiting this site that shows diagrams..... Last edited by jnorth; 1 Day Ago at 07:54 PM. Reason: removed advertising |
